Dreamland Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

You come to me in times of need 

When you can't find anyone 

You seem to be much better off now 

There's a rainbow number one 

We could see life through the gutter then 

Till it caused my heart to break 

There was too much toil in dreamland 

And too much love to take 

Sometimes I remember when 

We were all dressed up in style 

I don't recall the gist of it all 

But you drove the young men wild 

You could wrap me around your finger 

Till it caused my heart to break 

There was too much toil in dreamland 

And too much love to take 

So, if you need me near you 

You can do it if you choose 

There was too much toil in dreamland 

And too much love to lose 

You make me do what you want me to do 

Then you run the rules on me 

You seem to be the wiser now 

Could it be you've been deceived? 

Anytime you felt like tryin' 

You would cause my heart to break 

There was too much toil in dreamland 

And too much love to take 

So, if you need me near you now 

You can do it if you choose 

There was too much toil in dreamland 

And too much love to lose
